We write a line to say that we hope it is your purpose to return Miss Mattie the coming session.

Miss Mattie did well last year, and was among our best pupils and students. Though she will be advanced in her studies, we will give advantages on same terms as last year.

Please remember us to the young ladies. Hoping to hear from you by early mail

Yours Truly

Wm A. Harris
